Meta El Paso Data Center
Overview
Meta’s El Paso project is a northeast El Paso campus under construction. TYPE3’s map data lists 1,000 MW, a 2025 announcement year, and city-level coordinates. Meta’s 15 October 2025 newsroom post described an AI-focused data center that can scale to a 1 GW site and identified it as the company’s 29th data center. A 26 March 2026 update raised the initial investment from $1.5 billion to more than $10 billion, with more than 300 expected operational jobs and more than 4,000 construction jobs at peak.
On 28 July 2026, Meta announced a venture with BlackRock to develop the campus. Reuters reported that the project is designed for 1 GW of compute capacity, remains under construction, and is expected to begin operating in 2028. Meta would lease capacity within the venture structure. These are planned compute and financing facts, not a live megawatt reading.
This record and SEO-007’s Meta El Paso Campus refer to the same campus. City materials identify Wurldwide LLC and a large northeast El Paso site; that filing-name context is not a second campus. The project remains under construction at this stage. The cited record does not support current AI traffic or 1,000 MW of energized load.
Questions
Is Meta’s El Paso data center operating?
No. Meta describes a campus under construction, and independent reporting tied to the 2026 venture announcement expects operations in 2028.
How much power will the El Paso campus use?
Meta says the site can scale to 1 GW of compute. That is planned capacity, not a disclosed current load.
Is this a different project from Meta El Paso Campus in later inventory rows?
No. Row 33 and SEO-007 row 69 refer to the same Meta campus, not separate sites.
